It's not clear on expedia that this is also a music venue but anyone intending to stay here should check the Valley Ales website because you can hear the live music in the rooms. The room was cozy and clean but the shower was extremely small (difficult to shave your legs small). I loved opening my window to hear the river outside. It was a convenient location to walk into town.

The rooms are above the bar area so it can be loud if there is a band. We knew that and were prepared. Ear plugs are provided in the room in case you need them. The room was clean and met our needs. Very reasonable price. We had a nice stay.

It was an easy and pleasant stay. Perfect for the price if you are just looking for somewhere to lay your head. We didn't see another human our two days there but we got in late and left early. Most importantly it was clean.

Very nice and cute. Really wish it was quieter though, the neighbor was so loud in the morning and woke us up at 7am. They did have a note that tells people that it’ll be loud, so that’s good at least!

Awesome local spot to stay!

I have stayed here several times, we love it here! If you are used to luxury though, this isn’t it. The building is older and has such lovely character in each room. Yes, it’s small, it’s like a B&B without the breakfast. The bar and brick oven pizza below is amazing! Their beer is very good as well. All of the staff are super nice. They do have music and bands on the weekends. We enjoyed this and didn’t find it disruptive to our sleep. Yes, the walls are thin, but not where it was awful. I don’t know what some reviewers expected! The beds and bathroom are super clean. No weird smells in the room! They leave you some small shampoos etc which is helpful. The towels are nice and clean and the water is hot. The shower stall is small but we don’t mind that. It’s self check in and steps to upstairs rooms only. Our only complaint is the mattresses are all pretty hard in every room we have stayed so far. A mattress topper would help. Aside from that, it’s an amazing spot close to the mountain! Thank you for our great stays! We will be back.
